I have numerous Ethernet ports throughout my house that connect back to our main modem/ router. 
Can I plug a deco m5 directly in to one of those Ethernet ports, to provide fast wifi on that room.

 

currently we just have the 3 deco's connected via wifi but the signal is pretty weak in some rooms.

 

thanks

You should be able to do that, and you will see visible improvement in WiFi speeds. 

 

When you connect multiple Deco units with Ethernet cables to ISP modem/router, Deco mesh must run in Access Point mode for that to work. See Switching a Deco to Access Point (AP) Mode
